- Chepan Sky
30 km with denivelation of D +1200 m / D –1200 m (Download the GPX track for the 30-km course from here). The starting point is in the center of Dragoman, toward the Wetlands Conservation Center, and from there – to Petrovsky krast peak. The participants then climb up and continue along the usual route on the ridge until they get to the dirt road, from which begins the descent to the "X" support point. There they turn left and continue up and along the ridge; then they follow the ridge, as after 5 or 6 kilometers they reach a technical descent and then go up again. A short descent follows again which runs through a grove until the competitors come out onto a dirt road (near the almost U-turn of the 44-kilometer course after the second cross above Vasilovtsi has been passed, and from which the descent to Rayanovtsi begins). They then continue along a dirt road that to some extent is parallel to the 44-kilometer course, as at some point it turns off and goes around a hill on the left-hand side; eventually the track comes out on the abovementioned second cross, where it merges with the 44-kilometer course and then continues to Rayanovtsi. At this stone cross (around the 16th kilometer), the return to Dragoman begins; there will be a control point where they will hand out ribbons to each competitor. These ribbons MUST be presented at the finish. Then the track follows the 44-kilometer route (in the same direction as the cyclists) until it gets to Rayanovtsi (18th km) and the support point located there, after which it climbs up to the point where it merges with the road going down from Petrovsky krast. Then it turns right and goes up to the top after which it continues to the finish line along the same route as the 23- and 44-kilometer running course.
